The United Empire has two new members following today’s RevPro High Stakes event. 

Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis of Aussie Open joined RevPro Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay’s NJPW stable after Ospreay defeated Ricky Knight Jr. to retain the title. 

As Ospreay beat Knight down after the match, Shota Umino ran in for the save. Aussie Open and Young Guns then ran in. Ospreay and Aussie Open then beat down Young Guns and Umino to seal Aussie Open’s defection to the United Empire. 

Fletcher and Davis join Ospreay, Great-O-Khan, Jeff Cobb and Aaron Henare as members of United Empire. Only Cobb and O-Khan are currently competing in NJPW’s main unit due to a variety of pandemic-related travel issues and restrictions. Cobb and O-Khan both won their first G1 Climax 31 tournament matches this weekend. 

Bea Priestley, now NXT UK’s Blair Davenport, is a former member of the group. Ospreay turned on her and kicked her out of the group in her NJPW swan song.
